The female Urogential system of Pseudocheirus convolutor (Marsupialia)

Abstract

The female urogenital system of Pseudocheirus convolutor (Oken) has several interesting features which indicate that the genus should be placed among the less specialized members of the Phalangeroidea. Two of the three specimens examined had undergone parturition shortly before capture and an account is given of the histological processes involved in pseudovaginal parturition.
